Private Half Xian Day Tour: Terra-Cotta Warriors

Itinerary:
Your guide will warmly greet you at your hotel lobby around 9:00am. A comfortable, air-conditioned minivan and an experienced driver are waiting for you to take you to the magnificent UNESCO World Heritage-listed site of the Terra-cotta Warriors. It will leave you a quiet atmosphere in the site by avoiding crowds in morning time. Buried for over 2,000 years until local farmers stumbled upon fragments of a clay figure in 1974 when digging a well, this site was then uncovered and is reputed as the largest underground military base in the world. The scale of almost 8,000 terracotta figures standing in battle formation is awe-inspiring. You cannot miss the fine craftsmanship and artistry either for the fact that no two soldiers' faces are alike. And with your professional local guide, stories about the warriors and the first emperor who owns them will be gradually unveiled along your walk through the 3 different pits where the soldiers were buried.
This enjoyable day trip concludes at a short and comfortable drive to your hotel.
